Report: Tomi Lahren Has Been Suspended By Glenn Beck’s Media Empire After She Comes Out As Pro-Choice

Tomi Lahren — rising shock jock/commentator of Glenn Beck’s right-wing outlet, The Blaze — surprised the Internet and disgusted conservatives by coming as pro-choice while visiting The View last week. The weekend saw her become a target for incensed pro-lifers, and some folks dredged up 3-month-old audio of her labeling abortion as “murder.” Whether or not Tomi changed her stance in an attempt to generate outrage is still up for debate, but she certainly upset Beck, which may have resulted in a suspension.

Lahren’s show is suspended for effect for at least one week starting Monday, according to TheDC’s sources. A source with direct knowledge of the situation previously told TheDC that Lahren’s contract with the company goes until September, but that she may leave the company before then.

Prior to this report, Beck lashed out on Twitter over one of Lahren’s follow-up tweets to her pro-choice outing. He retweeted her claim of holding diverse views, including Libertarian ones, and used the #IntellectualHonesty hashtag to emphasize his point (which was unclear, but he’s obviously upset).

I have moderate, conservative, and libertarian views. I'm human. I will never apologize, to anyone, for being an independent thinker.

Glenn needs to step up his grammar game. Commas mean something Glenn. She’s simply stating that her political views fall into three separate categories. You know, like my conservative buddy who sold dope in college to pay for abortions.

Seriously. Does the company say “this is our stance on every issue” and everyone is expected to follow? Also, she could be anti-abortion for herself and pro-choice for everybody else…cuz she wants less govt in our lives and such.

I hear what you’re saying, and this isn’t as bad as most situations, but that’s still not what free speech means lol. Free speech means you’re free from government prosecution for what you say, outside of threats and whatnot, it has no bearing on your job status whatsoever.

@mike44 correct me if I am wrong but to add to your comment free speech means you’re free from government prosecution when speaking about the government. What essentially makes us different than China, North Korea and Russia to name a few. Everything else is regulated ie libel, slander, perjury, harassment,obstruction and so forth. For example you can claim that the presidency wiretapped your home without fear of repercussion or proof but you can’t say that the Obama personally wiretapped his house as that would be slanderous.

The suspension is less about punishing her and more about moving her out of the spotlight until the Conservative Christian Rage Machine calms down over her violation of orthodoxy and forgets about her.

I don’t trust news sources that are dedicated to promoting a certain line on all issues and do not publish dissenting or divergent views. That model is straight propaganda. I have far more respect for entities and individuals that honestly recognize differences of opinion on controversial issues.

Otherwise it’s just the propaganda of conservative media sources and the virtue signalling of liberal ones; which is intended to drive the maximum amount of revenue.

@Staubachlvr @VladimirA It’s a spectrum. The Atlantic or Reason for example, while having their biases will present opposing viewpoints. A few writers, intellectuals, and social commenters are still motivated by inquiry.

But you do have to move to blogs, youtube channels, and podcasts for some of it. Otherwise you are mostly stuck with Salon and Breitbart.
